Most Helpful Guy

I do fear rejection, but I dont let this control me. Some guys (like some of the ones here) fear rejection and because of it dont ask girls. Taking the chance to ask a girl out and being rejected is a lot better than never knowing if she would have said yes if you were to asked her out. Also, before asking a girl out I always try to talk to her, get to know her, and see if she has any sort of interest in me. This way when I ask her out I know there's only a small chance Ill be rejected. Honestly the only reason I wouldn't ask a girl out is either because she's not showing any interest or because Im just not into her.

Yes, many of us are terrified of how you'll treat us in a vulnerable moment. A lot of us have been humiliated in our early interactions with girls, and as a result we learn that girls don't like us, or so we come to believe. It's taken me a long time to get over the rejections that I experienced in high school.

Fear of rejection is a part of it. A bigger part of it is not knowing what exactly asking out is. I wouldn't know what to say to make her know I'm asking her out without coming off too steing or beating around the bush too much.
